Cultivation techniques and precautions of Tiger Pilan

Tiger Pira is a very shade-tolerant plant with strong adaptability to light, so it is very suitable for indoor cultivation. It can be placed in a well-lit area or in a low-light environment. The following are the cultivation tips and precautions for Tiger Piranha.

1. Lighting management

Tiger Piranha likes light but is shade-tolerant and has strong adaptability to light. It is suitable to be placed in places with sufficient diffuse light, such as a bright place indoors or a south-facing balcony. In summer, shade is needed to avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burns; in winter, sunlight can be increased appropriately.

2. Temperature control

The suitable growth temperature for Sansevieria is 18℃-27℃. When the temperature is below 10℃ in winter, growth will be inhibited, and when it is below 5℃, frostbite may occur, so it needs to be moved indoors to keep warm. During the high temperatures in summer, the temperature needs to be lowered appropriately to avoid exceeding 30°C.

3. Watering Tips

Sansevieria is drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging, so watering should follow the principle of "water thoroughly when dry". During the peak growth periods in spring and autumn, water the plant every 3-5 days. During high temperatures in summer, spray water on the leaves 1-2 times a day. Reduce the frequency of watering in winter to once every 1-2 months.

4. Fertilization method

Tiger Piranha does not require much fertilizer . During the growing season (spring and autumn), apply thin compound fertilizer 1-2 times a month. You can choose a fertilizer with a balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. When applying fertilizer, avoid using concentrated fertilizer to avoid burning the roots. Stop fertilizing during the winter dormancy period.

5. Soil and flowerpot selection

Tiger Piranha grows best in loose, well-drained sandy soil. You can use leaf mold, river sand and garden soil in a ratio of 3:2:1. The flower pots should have good drainage holes to avoid water accumulation.

6. Repotting and pruning

Tiger Piranha grows quickly and it is recommended to repot it every spring. Cut off any rotten or shriveled roots when repotting. Old leaves, yellow leaves and overcrowded leaves need to be trimmed daily to keep the plant ventilated and light-permeable.
